I think he's still stuck in the mentality that if he macros better than his opponent and takes enough small leads he should just win. As zerg, that's never true - you can always lose your whole army basically for free if you control it poorly. So he gg's early and bitches about bad game design instead of adjusting what he does to what he has.
It's too bad, because we've all seen him in beastmode, and it's a pleasure to watch.
I am thinking that as well.
Its a really bad approach to the game imo. It makes you so predictable as well.

NASL are doing a really nice job this season, impressive.

So IdrA lost again?Wow that's shocking!  (Sarcasm)

I am merely giving out an objective answer as to who I think will win. You are accusing me of being a fanboy with no support. I am stating facts about idra. Perfect mechanics. Perfect decision making on a good day. What has morrow won? Idra has an IEM and an MLG. Based on that, idra will 4-0. No fanboy, just objective perspective. You kids are the ones making me out as a fanboy. I am just an ESPORTS fan looking for good games to watch while saying on a public forum who I think will win. Idra has proven that he can win championships. Morrow has not.
Perfect mechanics? Is that why he was 40+ behind in supply in game 1 even prior to his failed major engagements? Every Korean Zerg, yes, even those in Code B, has better mechanics than IdrA. Hell, Stephano and Morrow (as Zerg) both have way better mechanics.
Perfect decision making? Is that why he make 10+ Ultras which did not do shit vs. Morrow's bio? And that premature engagement on Shakuras where he threw away 30+ food worth of zerglings for nothing?

SaSe vs PuMa :O
That's a sick showmatch.

I was really hoping this would be a turn around for Idra. I've never been a huge fan but he does play really good games and I was hoping to be his fan after this game. But it feels like he plays REALLY well and then he just throws the match.
Idra has GG'd so many times where he had the advantage or was in a situation where he could turn around. It's just so depressing to watch him give up game after game after game.
I would've probably became a real Idra fan if he just fought out the games instead of insta-GGing.

Well, this was the first time I ever tried to do a LR, thanks guys. It was fun.

NASL really needs to fix the spelling on the Protoss thundersticks... been wrong since last season.

Ouch, I kinda feel sorry for him. I dunno but I wouldn't be surprised if he soon decides to make pause of pro gaming or something. I gotta admit, seeing Idra fail was amusing for me before but nowadays I kinda wish he does well in some showmatch or tournament, but then he goes 0-4 against Morrow who is "off-racing" against Z. :/
He will never "pause" pro-gaming as long as he gets the stream numbers that he does. It'd be idiotic since there is a huge audience that will just watch him beat amateur players on NA ladder and bad mouth them. The money is just too easy since he's already built up that base. The fall continues though and I honestly don't see it stopping anytime soon.

At the very least at least it was a solid showmatch. Sounds like the games were a lot closer than the score.

idra might as well allin now... something like 6pool or some roach baneling because his lategame is worse than morrows Idra never allins. He never did, before. But some time ago he double 6 pooled after going down 0-2 to aLive in a showmatch. Idra always did some all ins. Especially against MC, of course when he 6 pooled him, and especially at MLG Columbus a long time ago he tried a roach all in like 3 times.
Back in BW he did not*, also in SC2 he is kinda known for being a little predictable and macro-oriented. You are however correct that he has had periods where he has stated that the current meta game blablabla favors doing some all-ins now and again.
* I remember a game on Medusa where he tried a proxy 2 rax and gg'd out after it was seen and the opponent (protoss) stole his gas.
My comment was just to correct that dudes incorrect "facts".

Er Morrow's not off racing against z. zvt/zvp/tvz. He plays tvz and has done it forever so I wouldn't call it off racing. (Morrow beat Leenock with his T 4-1 or something in a bo7)

You can still stream if you're a caster.

Mate I thought exactly that, I should probably wrote something else instead of "pause". I ment that he probably should (I am no one to judge, just my personal feeling) just keep streaming, earning fine amount of money and stop accepting these showmatches, going to tournaments etc.
I really don't know but lately he looks and plays like total trainwreck and it doesn't look like he will do any better like this any time soon.

Game 2 and 3 was very close and basically came down to Idra donating infestors/ultralisk and Broodlords for free.
Idra needs to goto some micro tester and play lategame a million times it would really help his play

I enjoyed the games. I would've preferred Idra to have won the showmatch or take a few maps off Morrow, but the games were generally longer and none were just simple early game cheeses. I'm looking forward to Sase and Puma next week. Thank you NASL!

lol. That must be some kind of record.
He should give up; he lacks talent, among other things.
